J.T Miller Breaks Silence to Canucks Media for the First Time Since Leave of Absence
Vancouver Canucks superstar J.T Miller returns to game action Thursday night against the Florida Panthers, and today he addressed media for the first time since taking his leave of absence from the team.
While many are curious about what led to Miller being absent from the team for nearly a month, he says he won't be shedding any further light on the situation.
While the scrum was cordial, his media availability did include some short answers and a flat out refusal to answer one question.
Miller said when asked how he's doing now that he's "excited to play" and says it's been impressive to see how the team stepped up in his absence and the absence of key players like Thatcher Demko and Filip Hronek.
He says he'll try to keep it simple in his return, playing physical and making smart plays
